PRECISE Seminar: The Use of Mobile Health Technology in Clinical Research

March 8, 2018

The ability to efficiently develop new medicines for patients with unmet needs is limited by the current model for clinical development. Fundamentally, the conduct of clinical trial has not changed significantly over the last few decades. Emerging digital and mobile health technologies have the potential to improve the conduct of clinical trials, allowing for more efficient development of new medicines for patients. Seeking patients’ input into the design and conduct of clinical trials is now possible via mobile devices, sensors and remote technologies that can enhance recruitment,…

Anomaly detection is the process of identifying abnormal events. The proper identification of anomalies can be helpful for almost any domain and is critical in achieving level 4 and 5 autonomy for self-driving cars. However, classical anomaly detection is principally rooted in point-based anomalies, those anomalies that occur at a specific point, which are only a small subset of the more general range-based anomalies that occur in real-world systems.

In this talk, we will discuss necessary advances in anomaly detection to make it relevant in today’s range-based systems. We will…

This talk will highlight the purpose of LG’s Silicon Valley Lab, and introduce some of our projects around Robotics, Automotive space, and in some other areas. We will also introduce our new AI Lab, and talk about challenges and potential opportunities in this brave and exciting world for LG.

PRECISE Seminar: Electricity System Planning with Distributed Energy Resources - New Methods for an Evolving Power System

January 31, 2018

Distributed energy resources (DERs), including distributed generation, storage, and demand response, are expanding and decentralizing options for the provision of electricity services. These novel resources compete with one another as well as conventional generation resources and network assets to provide a limited range of important electricity services. Distributed resources derive much of their comparative advantage from the ability to be located in areas of the electrical grid that maximize the “locational value” delivered by these resources. Locational value…

Technology scaling of DRAM cells has enabled higher capacity memory for the last few decades. Unfortunately, DRAM cells become vulnerable to failure as they scale down to a smaller size. Enabling high-performance, energy-efficient, scalable memory systems without sacrificing the reliability is a major research challenge. My work focuses on designing a scalable memory system by rethinking the traditional assumptions in abstraction and separation of responsibilities across system layers.

In this talk, I will discuss three fundamental ways to enable DRAM scaling. First, we can enable…
